Coeur Mining Inc(NYSE:CDE) shares rose in Tuesday’s pre-market session after BMO Capital Markets raised its investment rating on the stock to market perform from underperform, citing letters of intent the silver and gold producer entered to amend its Palmarejo gold-streaming agreement with Franco-Nevada (FNV). 

“The amendment of the FNV streaming agreement reduces the effective production costs at Palmarejo, bolsters cash-flow generation and provides strong incentive for CDE to develop the Guadalupe deposit that hosts the majority of underground reserves and resources,” the firm told clients in a note. 

BMO also said it raised its target price on CDE to $9.50, “given the potential accretive nature of the FNV gold stream restructuring.” The firm didn’t specify what its prior target had been. The stock was up 3.4% at $9.08 in recent pre-market trading, in a 52-week range of $6.62 to $16.95.
